Ronaldo may continue playing for the Devils

August 10, 2008

After months of controversies and two clubs exchanging verbal blows, Christiano Ronaldo has finally stayed back at Old Trafford leaving Manchester United to be the winner of the bout, at least for a year.

Ronaldo confirmed a few days back that he would remain with the Old Trafford Club for another season, though he made his intentions clear about his desire to play for Spanish champions, Real Madrid.

According to many, the transfer of Ronaldo to Real Madrid was almost on cards this season. Still, there is a belief that the Spanish Club would keep on hunting for this player during the second transfer season.

Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson believes that things can change in the coming years, just like it did with Rio Ferdinand. According to the Scot, Rio Ferdinand was also all set for leaving the Red Devils after a brief period with the club, but is still a part of the team.

The manager believes that the Portuguese player would like to extend his contract after it expires after 4 years. Ferguson is quite sure and feels Ronaldo, who already loves Manchester United, would never want to leave the side and with age his love for the club would keep on growing. He believes that the Madrid club should be held responsible for the feud between the teams and not the player.

According to Ferguson, the team and management are quite happy with Ronaldo staying back with the team. He also added that the player is very important in the side and they simply couldn’t afford to lose one with his caliber.
